My Mother paid cash for her home , should she have received a Deed?

Question

It was recorded in the county she lives in.(Fee Simple) She now wants to sell the property, will this be a problem?

Answer 1

She should have received a copy of the deed, but the original was the one recorded with the County. She should have no problems.

Answer 2

The property is recorded in her name in the county she lives in. This is PUBLIC NOTICE that she owns her house. This will not be a problem, all real estate agents have access to county tax records and just needs to pull it out of the tax records and included it in the paperwork when listing. Most people DO NOT receive a Deed just notification that the property is recorded, this is done at escrow. Its recorded in the assessors office.

Answer 3

Fee Simple is a Deed.

It's called a Fee Simple Deed, as is recorded with sales code FS in Florida property records.

No, she won't have a problem.

Answer 4

No Problem. Her Agent will get a copy of it before they list it. We like to know that the person we are dealing with can really sell the property.

Answer 5

she needs a deed and a receipt from the sale as well as proof of property taxes paid

Answer 6

I think that real estate agents can verify ownership for a fee. This will expose any possible problem.

Answer 7

She should have received a title from the previous owner.

Answer 8

you can get a copy at the local courthouse if you don't have one

Answer 9
